Director Morgan Spurlock’s social experiment in fast-food gastronomy sees him attempting to subsist uniquely on food from the McDonald’s menu for an entire month. In the process his weight balloons, his energy level plummets and he experiences all sorts of unexpected — and terrifying — side effects. He also examines the corporate giant’s growing role in the lives of American consumers and explores its methods of indoctrinating young people and its contribution to America’s obesity epidemic.

Fast food commercials never phase me but damnit Morgan every time I watch this documentary all I want is a double cheeseburger and fries
This dude can open his mouth soo wide..
Years later and were finding the high fat diets arent bad. But carbs are the problem
When that man said “doubled” at 30:17, his voice reminded me of the Halo announcer. Anyone else?
32:13 oh it's the sooubway child predator.
You know how the doctor said that his liver was in such bad shape it was like he was an alcoholic? Weeeeellllll… about that… he recently admitted that he has been an alcoholic since the age of 13 with only one week of sobriety over the last 30 years, and it would seem the fatigue he was experiencing was due to alcohol withdrawl.
As for the weight he gained, this was due to the fact that he wasn't just eating only McDonald's, but more specifically he was eating 5,000 calories of McDonald's a day, which is roughly double the calories an average man ought to be eating, even a fairly active one.
The main issue with McDonald's isn't so much that it's bad for you, but rather it's very inexpensive and doesn't have as many actual nutrients in it as other higher quality foods.
Nutrient deficiencies can make you crave food when you aren't actually hungry as a means to try and get the nutrients you need, and the low cost makes it easy to overeat on fast food.
If you are having to eat fast food on a regular basis, I would recommend taking a multivitamin to compensate for what the food is lacking, as well as to make sure you drink plenty of water, because nutrient deficiencies and dehydration are the primary causes of overeating. You won't feel hungry as often if your body has the nutrients and hydration it needs. If you are wondering how hydration ties in, your body uses water to break down fat into sugar for energy, so if you are dehydrated it can't break down the fat for energy and makes you hungry to get fast energy.
I miss the super size meals 🙁
what the fuck is that flute in the into??? jesus christ
Health class memories lol
how retarded are people who sue mcdoanlds.. like they ain't pointing a gun to their fat asses to make them eat their trash food.
She keeps telling him she recommends cutting down on the food
That's kinda the exact opposite of what he's trying to do?♂️ she acts like she doesn't know it's on purpose
56:30 Slim Shady is that you?
So he ate one burger and one thing of fries….over the course of an hour….. And puked? Bruh
Pickle boys on this movie !! 15:03 ??
Early 2000s good school lunches 2019 my school lunch is literal plastic
From the very beginning of the movie, you can see the leftist slant. A bunch of people got fed up and did what? Take their health into their own hands? Do research and find out what foods are really healthy and change their eating and lifestyle? No. They blamed it on someone else and sued them. It's always someone else's fault. The opening of the movie shows Morgan Spurlock's production company, The Con. Very appropriate name.
This documentary started a movement that eventually led to fast food companies providing nutritional information for all of their foods, and calories being listed on menus. For that, I’m thankful, because now I can still order burgers from McDonald’s during my diet, I just have to limit my intake. ?
Watch FOOD INC. and you’ll never eat fast food again
The food served in schools back then looks better than what's served now…
Let’s see, government healthcare is too expensive and hard to get, schools have nothing but pizza and hamburgers and corn dogs all week, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King and all the other fast food places suck, plus Walmart and goin* to the movies food lol and lawyers say its an Individual choice ? Unfortunately, it’s time to regulate this and other things in our country before we have 6 year olds that weigh 150 lbs, or do we ? it’s also sad that over 65% of current adults in America think being 100-150 lbs overweight is the norm…..not

He admitted to drinking heavily while filming.
This was 2004 but still, the doctor attributing his elevated liver enzymes to fat instead of sugar, which is the culprit, is pretty amusing.
